Cosmo is a very friendly little guy!  He is an orange and white colored cat who is about 1 years old.  He loves to cuddle in your lap for a good snuggle.  Cosmo is very playful and he loves to play with all types of toys, but shoelaces are his favorites.  This great cat would love to find a nice home to call his own!  Please stop by Heartland to visit him very soon!
